I got a Equus boost/vac gauge for xmas and I want to install it in the 3800 s/c fiero. Does anyone have a pic of where the proper place is that I should tap into on the supercharger? The swap is far from complete, but If it helps, I won't be running the bypass solenoid. I know there are a few places i could tap into, but i think that it does matter where i tap into....not sure.

I usually replace the elbow to the MAP sensor with a Tee and run boost gauges off that line. I always move the MAP to the firewall side, so its the easiest spot for me to tap into on my swaps.

There is a vac line under the snout of the supercharger facing the passenger side of the fiero. I replaced it with a tee and ran the new line forward through a new hole with a grommet by where the factory ecm was in the fiero down to between the carpet and the gas tank tunnel up to the front of the fiero.
